Heading west,
we come fairly close to the edge of the yard. Upper Bay resides in
the background, and float bridge facilities are located at the end of the
tracks.
Right before
the float bridge facilities, the line splits in order to accommodate another
set of tracks. The float bridge can handle two railcars simultaneously
for faster loading and unloading processes.
A view of the
float bridge. At the end of the float bridge resides a pillar that
says "Caution: Shallow water. No diving". I don't know who in their
right mind would want to dive in to these waters to begin with, since the
water has some old tires and garbage strewn in it, but I guess it pays
to be safe!
Leaving the
float bridge facility, a better look at the two tracks comes in to view.
Although tough
to tell by viewing this picture, an old decrepit float bridge resides behind
the fence. The old wooden ties and planks are rapidly decaying in
the water and on the shoreline.
